Question

Does sodium phenolate
has both ionic and covalent bond

Answer 1

Answer:

The sodium cations are ionically bonded to the nitrate ions

Answer 2

Sodium Phenolate does have both ionic and a covalent bond.

• The nitrate ions are ionically bound to the sodium cations. All polyatomic ions are molecular ions where the ion atoms are covalently bound to one another.
• These ions include the carbonate ion, sulfate ion, phosphate ion, acetate ion, etc. These ions can easily combine to form various ionic compounds with the opposite charged ions.
